Objective:To compare the effectiveness of different durations of anti-seizure medications for acute symptomatic seizures in children with acute encephalitis syndrome.Methods:A total of 186 children with acute symptomatic seizures who received treatment at the Department of Neurology, Xi 'an Children's Hospital, from May 2020 to May 2022 were retrospectively included in this study. All patients were treated with anti-seizure medications. These children were divided into an observation group ( n = 93, 4-week anti-seizure medication) and a control group ( n = 93, 12-week anti-seizure medication) according to different durations of anti-seizure medication they received. The abnormal rates of electroencephalogram findings, treatment effectiveness, and recurrence rates of epileptic seizures were compared between the two groups. These children were divided into a recurrent group and a non-recurrent group based on their seizure recurrence outcomes. Clinical data from both groups were collected and compared. The factors influencing the recurrence of epileptic seizures were analyzed. Results:There were no significant differences in abnormal rates of electroencephalogram findings, treatment effectiveness, and recurrence rates of epileptic seizures between the observation and control groups (χ 2 = 1.90, 0.98, 0.36, all P > 0.05). Among the 186 children who were followed up for 1 year, epileptic seizures recurred in 12 cases, while 174 cases did not experience any recurrence. Univariate analysis revealed statistically significant differences between the recurrent and non-recurrent groups in terms of consciousness status, electroencephalogram findings, and Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category scores (χ2 = 6.16, 4.40, 5.88, all P < 0.05). Further analysis using binary logistic regression identified severe coma and Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category scores of 3-4 as independent risk factors for recurrent seizures in children with acute symptomatic seizures (both P < 0.05). Conclusion:Four-week and twelve-week anti-seizure medication for acute symptomatic seizure in children show similar effectiveness. Severe coma and Pediatric Cerebral Performance Category scores of 3-4 are significantly correlated with the recurrence of acute symptomatic seizure and therefore require clinical attention.

Objective:To identify the independent factors of unplanned interruption during continuous renal replacement therapy (CRRT) and construct a risk prediction model, and to verify the clinical application effectiveness of the model.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted on critically ill adult patients who received CRRT treatment in the intensive care unit (ICU) of Zhejiang Hospital from January 2021 to August 2022 for model construction. According to whether unplanned weaning occurred, the patients were divided into two groups. The potential influencing factors of unplanned CRRT weaning in the two groups were compared. The independent influencing factors of unplanned CRRT weaning were screened by binary Logistic regression and a risk prediction model was constructed. The goodness of fit of the model was verified by a Hosmer-Lemeshow test and its predictive validity was evaluated by receiver operator characteristic curve (ROC curve). Then embed the risk prediction model into the hospital's ICU multifunctional electronic medical record system for severe illness, critically ill patients with CRRT admitted to the ICU of Zhejiang Hospital from November 2022 to October 2023 were prospectively analyzed to verify the model's clinical application effect.Results:① Model construction and internal validation: a total of 331 critically ill patients with CRRT were included to be retrospectively analyzed. Among them, there were 238 patients in planned interruption group and 93 patients in unplanned interruption group. Compared with the planned interruption group, the unplanned interruption group was shown as a lower proportion of males (80.6% vs. 91.6%) and a higher proportion of chronic diseases (60.2% vs. 41.6%), poor blood purification catheter function (31.2% vs. 6.3%), as a higher platelet count (PLT) before CRRT initiation [×10 9/L: 137 (101, 187) vs. 109 (74, 160)], lower level of blood flow rate [mL/min: 120 (120, 150) vs. 150 (140, 180)], higher proportion of using pre-dilution (37.6% vs. 23.5%), higher filtration fraction [23.0% (17.5%, 32.9%) vs. 19.1% (15.7%, 22.6%)], and frequency of blood pump stops [times: 19 (14, 21) vs. 9 (6, 13)], the differences of the above 8 factors between the two groups were statistically significant (all P < 0.05). Binary Logistic regression analysis showed that chronic diseases [odds ratio ( OR) = 3.063, 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was 1.200-7.819], blood purification catheter function ( OR = 4.429, 95% CI was 1.270-15.451), blood flow rate ( OR = 0.928, 95% CI was 0.900-0.957), and frequency of blood pump stops ( OR = 1.339, 95% CI was 1.231-1.457) were the independent factors for the unplanned interruption of CRRT (all P < 0.05). These 4 factors were used to construct a risk prediction model, and ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve (AUC) predicted by the model was 0.952 (95% CI was 0.930-0.973, P = 0.003 0), with a sensitivity of 88.2%, a specificity of 89.9%, and a maximum value of 1.781 for the Youden index. ② External validation: prospective inclusion of 110 patients, including 63 planned interruption group and 47 unplanned interruption group. ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of the risk prediction model was 0.919 (95% CI was 0.870-0.969, P = 0.004 3), with a sensitivity of 91.5%, a specificity of 79.4%, and a maximum value of the Youden index of 1.709. Conclusion:The risk prediction model for unplanned interruption during CRRT has a high predictive efficiency, allowing for rapid and real-time identification of the high risk patients, thus providing references for preventative nursing.

Objective:To investigate whether the real-world marital status is a factor affecting the survival of patients with early stage breast cancer.Methods:According to the data of 62 845 patients with early stage (T 1-2N 0M 0) breast cancer who received treatment from January 2012 to December 2015 in the Surveillance, Epidemiology and End Results (SEER) database, univariate survival analysis for 7 factors including age, race, surgery, T stage, tumor differentiation, molecular type and marital status was performed by Kaplan-Meier method. The 5-year cancer specific survival (5-CSS) rate was calculated. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards model was used to analyze the death risk of patients with different marital status (married, unmarried and bad marriage). Results:Univariate analysis showed that 7 factors were correlated with the survival of patients with early stage breast cancer (all P < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that marital status was an independent factor affecting the survival of patients, and the death risk of unmarried patients and patients with bad marriage was 2.014 times (95% CI 1.714-2.367, P < 0.001) and 2.559 times (95% CI 2.254-2.905, P < 0.001) higher than that of married patients, respectively. In tumor differentiation, molecular type, T stage and race subgroups, univariate analysis showed that the rates of 5-CSS in married patients were higher than those in unmarried patients and patients with bad marriage (all P < 0.001); multivariate analysis showed that the risk of death in patients with bad marriage (except undifferentiated type) was higher than that in married patients (all P < 0.001), and the risk of death in unmarried patients (except undifferentiation, Luminal B type, black and other races) was also higher than that in married patients (all P < 0.01). Conclusions:Marital status is one of the factors influencing the survival of patients with early stage breast cancer.
